Be it knownthat I, ALEXANDER FgKonlrt-e SKI, a citizen of the UnitedStates, andres1-* dent of Milwaukee,"in-' the county o'f'MiL' Waukee andState 'ofWVisc'onsim'have' invented new and useful Improvements in i ingames, and more particularlyto-a target i dislodgment by l vide agamewherein the targets are so con-- Games,'of which the following isadesoription, reference being hadto the accompany fication'. H g, g Thislnvention relates to Improvement game wherein the targets aresusceptible of means of missiles directed thereat.

' It is one ofthe Qbj ects-ofF-the present 'invention to provide a gamewherein the tar:

' provide a game of the class described which A further objectoftheinventionis to pro.-

vide a game of 'the class described which may be compactly collapsedforpacking and shipping and easily-erected into usable condition. E

A furthenobject-of the invention is to is of very'simple construction,is strongand durable, is inexpensive to manufactura'and is well adaptedfor the purposes described With the above and'ot her objects in view,the invention consists of the improved game,

and'its parts and combinations'as set forth in the claims, and allequivalents thereof. -I'n'the accompanymgdrawmg in which the samereference characters indicate the same parts in all of the views:

Said tar-Fig; 1 is a perspective view of'the imf getsare preferably formedwithhook portions-QO to det achably engage the hooks'and J the rack 11', ifso desired- Further means ofengagement forthe targets consists of metal"surfaces- 22 *formed by" tacks, staples or the'likefins'erted thereinorthereto and arranged for attraction, by one or more V sembled.

magnets 23 preferably secured by means of staples to the rack. Hence, itis evident that the targets" are arranged for detachable.connectiontothe game frame or rack in any of 1 three ways.

To complete the appearance of the gaine,

any or all portions of the rack and frame may be preferably covered withsuitable decorative'crimped paper corresponding in" design to thesymbolicalrepresentationscarried out by the targets.

The targets, as aforementioned, vare formed to represent any suitableand characteristic figures, Obviously, in. this form'of the in ventionthe device may-be readily disassembled for packing. a

In playing the game,the targets are positioned on or connected to therack in any;

' of the three ways previously mentioned and;

missiles are directed thereat with a view of dislodging anyor all of thetargets utilized.

It should be un derstood that such changes in the precise embodiments ofthe invention herein set forth, may be made as come with- I in thespirit and scope of the appended claims. a r r 7 From the foregoingdescription it will be seen that the improved game is of very simple andnovelconstruction, and is well adapted for the purpose set forth.
